Five Research Laboratories

The R&D structure at the FUJIFILM Advanced Research Laboratories consists of four corporate laboratories and one divisional laboratory. In addition, fundamental technology research centers, such as the Analysis Technology Center, support the five laboratories and there are multiple project teams.
The four corporate laboratories are the Frontier Core-Technology Laboratories, which conducts long-term research into advanced technologies for further growth; the Synthetic Organic Chemistry Laboratories, which engages in R&D of highly functional organic materials in various fields; and the Advanced Marking Research Laboratories, which conducts R&D into inkjet and other new marking technologies; and the Drug Discovery Research Laboratories, which has been newly established to further develop the pharmaceutical business. At the Drug Discovery Research Laboratories, a diverse array of technologies of pharmacology, biochemistry, organic synthesis, analysis, and FTD technology(*1) along with researchers in such fields, formerly located separately, are brought together to better search for original drug candidates. The Life Science Research Laboratories is a divisional laboratory that bolsters and expands the life science business, a priority field for the future.
Designed and organized under the open laboratory concept, the FUJIFILM Advanced Research Laboratories actively promotes collaboration among the laboratories as well as with all Group companies, such as Fuji Xerox and Toyama Chemical, and with external research institutes and universities.

(*1)FTD technology: Fujifilm's proprietary technology nurtured in the development of photographic film and other products. It involves formulating desired chemicals and delivering them to targeted sites in appropriate levels and at appropriate times by means of emulsification, dispersion, nanoparticles, nanocapsule formation and porous & multilayer thin films, etc.
